3. The stodger in me is saying 'what an idiot'. n/t

[DS1]

4. what?

[mainegreen]

5. So, does that help him hear us, or us hear his tinnitus?

[BurtWorm]

6. In honor of van Gogh maybe?

[meegbear]

9. Well, I hope he doesn't think I'm impressed

I'm not.

:)

[Orrex]

10. When he gets it pierced, maybe then I'll be impressed

Nah, probably not.

[EstimatedProphet]

11. Ironically, he's still deaf.

[unpossibles]

12. I know that guy!

seriously! He taught at OSU, and my wife and I met him when she was at ACCAD. Amazing - but very strange - guy.

If I had to pick someone to become an evil supervillain, he would be it. He even has the laugh, a hearty MUAHAHAHAHA!!! And he's built a couple of giant spider walking suits and other robotic/cybernetic things. Google Stelarc and check him out.

13. Well that's just fucking stupid. Loved him on "Everybody Loves Raymond", though! nm

[Bucky]

17. The same guy who played Fr. Fronkensteen's monster, ironically

heh.

14. I've heard of body midification, but DAMN.

Diabolus Rex of the Church of Satan would probably still consider this guy an amateur, though. D-Rex actually had horned ridged implanted under his scalp. Can't say I'd want him to headbutt me.

15. Ithought peter boyle was dead?

[MilesColtrane]

16. And now...

For something completely different...

A man with three buttocks.

[Westegg]

18. Stelarc's a strange, intriguing guy...

...I've been reading about him for years. One of his attitudes is that "the body is obsolete." It's made for some fascinating performance art. Check out his website. I'd give ya the link but I gotta run.

19. In Russia, they don't implant an ear, they implant a penis
